Kim Fawcett was abused by her mother's partner when she was a teenager

A woman whose abusive stepfather made her pregnant as a teenager is suing her former school over claims it failed to spot signs of the abuse.

Kim Fawcett's abuser, Oswestry truck-driver Robert Stuart McClelland, was jailed for six years in 2004.

Human rights lawyer Ms Fawcett, 30, said Ellesmere College in Shropshire failed to "keep me safe" and plans to take it to the High Court.

But the college said a review found "nothing to support her claim".

Ms Fawcett, who now lives in Bristol, has waived her right to anonymity and said her school had "explicit knowledge" of sexual text messages she received from her stepfather, and also knew about the self-harming she carried out as a result.

"None of these concerns were reported to social services," she said.

"Had the college reported McClelland to social services, the abuse would have stopped in June 2002 instead of June 2003."
